ABSTRACT:
A combined enclosure and support for an infant's feeding bottle in which the bottle is inserted with the nipple projecting upwards in a position to facilitate the infant's feeding itself. The invention is formed of two principal portions, a bib which covers the chest area and a lower appended enclosure for the bottle. Straps attached to the bib are provided for securing the bib about the infant's neck. The enclosure contains an outward facing vertical slot. Across this slot are horizontal elastic straps that are separated from one another in the vertical direction. The spacing between the elastic straps permits a visual determination of the amount of fluid remaining in the bottle without removal, while the elasticity of the straps accommodates a variety of bottle sizes. The bib and enclosure, in one embodiment, are formed of quilted material to provide insulation designed to maintain the bottle at its initial temperature. The bib may also be secured about the nipple to preserve its sanitary condition prior to use by the infant. Another embodiment utilizes paper of various forms to provide all the components, thereby permitting the bib to be disposed of after each use.
